In this episode of Rise and Shine with Mama Jac, we dive into the world of PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus) with our special guest, Don. Don shares the emotional journey his family went through when his son, after a simple bout of strep throat, experienced drastic behavioral changes including rage and defiance.
We discuss the struggle for a diagnosis, the challenges with medical professionals, and how a mother's relentless research led to life-changing treatments.
